Second Rant about UC Bearcats vs N. Carolina State

I'm still in awe as to how we got our ass handed to us by the N.C. State.
Even after all the bad plays, the miss opportunities and the penalties I kept on watching like a good boy waiting for something magical to happened.

And finally that moment came, it was 3rd and 1in the 4th quarter, no matter what, we had to covert it and get a first down. So what where the calls, first they tried a QB sneak, then they tried to run the football, both failed miserably. So now I'm wondering what is the coaching staff sees that I'm not seeing? Everyone watching the game know our O-line cant block anyone, let alone create any type of gap for a running play.
It was just mind boggling. No reason to try and run the ball at that time, we had too much on the line at that time to prove that we can run the ball on N.C. State.

I'm no football expert, but I'm pretty sure that was a bad call from the coaching staff.
I honestly cannot figure out, how we stayed in this game until the very end of the fourth quarter. The score might of have bee 30-19 but it felt more like 40-0.

I urge all the Bearcats fan, please pray for Zach Collaros when they play Oklahoma next week. May he live to see the next day. Amen.

PS. Is it just me or does the above photo show someone steeping out? So why was it a TD?

UC vs North Carolina State

UC 19
NC State 30

Close to four hours of nothing but misery and agony. I was left speechless but at the same time, I was cursing a lot. Everyone that supports UC knew this season won't but as successful as the Brian Kelly era for obvious reason. But my God this was just down right awful. I don't need to look at the stats but I'm pretty sure we had more false starts and illegal formations combined than first downs.

Many people might not realize that we have ton of freshman and sophomore players on this team and there are going to be some growing pains, but this was ridiculous. It does not matter what level of football you play, you cannot have 8 penalties against you, that will just kill any kind of momentum you have as a team.
It's not like it's the first game of the season, its the third game and I was hoping some of those wrinkles would of have been ironed out by now.

Who do you criticize in the game, Butch Jones, Collaros, the O-Line the defense?
It's hard to pin point and blame anyone, but ultimately the blame has to  go to Coach Butch Jones, this is his team and he did not have his team prepared.

If Butch Jones does not figure out his offensive line problem, this will be a long and painful season. Because if you can't protect your quarterback, you are not going to win any game.

So lets all get on our knees and pray for Coach Butch Jones, pray that he some how miraculously figures out his O-Lines problem before the Sooners come to town.
Amen.
